Default True duals?

I have been looking and can not seem to find my answer. I understand you loose torque running true duals vs cross over headers. But would you still GAIN more torque using true duals vs stock headers?

Simply put "Yes" you would.

Not as much difference as you may think if you have a good tune. The 2 in 1 is slightly better, but the True duals work very well and sound better than the others in my opinion. The 14's with cam and more compression sound really good on True duals. Make it just slightly richer on idle and it will surprise you. Same thing applies to the 2 in 1 in 2, but not as good of sound. True duals without a tuner won't work good at all.

Thanks guys! and yes I would plane on doing the intake, and probably going with the power vision from Fuel Moto. Or are you saying I would actually need to get it dynode using true duals? I don't care if I gain torque, I just do not want to loose any going with TD. Its really not about sound for me, I just want the bike to breath better and I really like the looks of the true duals.

I think you will be good to go with a PV and map from Jamie. It's my understanding that the PV is a self-learning tuner, so it makes adjustments automatically.
